We had a meet and greet with Maria the last week of August with our 5 month old puppy Brü. we immediately felt comfortable and knew he would have a great time in her care. The next time I bought him he was so excited to get out of the car and when I pick him up he was a very happy TIRED little man. I know leaving him there he will play, run, and be loved and that is such a great feeling while I am at work. We will be using Maria at least once a week and look forward to those days. Thank you for doing what you do for our four legged babies. see you soon

I travel for work, and just adopted a puppy to be a traveling companion. As he is still young, I wanted to provide him with a place to play during they day while I was at meetings. I am so happy to have found Maria on here. My puppy, Thor, had so much fun with her and her family, and came back to me exhausted (in a great way!). My only regret is that I ...

I travel for work, and just adopted a puppy to be a traveling companion. As he is still young, I wanted to provide him with a place to play during they day while I was at meetings. I am so happy to have found Maria on here. My puppy, Thor, had so much fun with her and her family, and came back to me exhausted (in a great way!). My only regret is that I can’t bring Maria with me on all my work trips! Next time I’m in this area of CT, I will definitely bring Thor to spend time with her.

Your cherub, will never be alone we work as a pack. I also do dropins long term, & house sitting. When you are on vacation your fur baby will also enjoy their vacation. Playing with new friends, running, napping, enjoying fresh air, treats & LOTS OF LOVE! Bring your CHERUBS to BCP BARKINGTON for vacation & have a peace of mind. HAPPY TAILS. Please know HOLIDAYS ARE BUSY 4 EVERYONE ! BE SURE YOUR CHERUBS ARE BOOKED EARLY :)

What Cruz Maria would like to know about your dog

MY RULES ARE SIMPLE. MEET & GREET: DAYLIGHT! NIGHT WILL MAKE CHERUBS NERVOUS OF THEIR SURROUNDINGS. PLEASE JUST U & CHERUB, NO KIDS PLEASE. I WILL ATTEND & CARE FOR YOUR FAMILY MEMBER. HONESTY IS KEY, WHEN LETTING ME KNOW ABOUT YOUR CHERUB. I WILL NEED TO KNOW IE: HEALTH, FIXED/NEUTERED, FRIENDLY WITH PEOPLE AS WELL AS OTHER CHERUBS. IF ITS AN OVER NIGHT STAY, PLEASE KNOW I AM VERY FLEXIBLE. I DO UNDERSTAND CHANGES IN PLANS WE ALL HAVE THEM. JUST GIVE ME A HEADS UP, WE CLOSE AT 8PM. AS I HAVE MULTIPLE CHERUBS & SMOOTH TRANSITION IS BEST. IF YOU HAVE 2 CHERUBS OVER NIGHT FOR 10 OR MORE DAYS $5 OFF 2ND. I ALSO DO DROP INS. I CAN ADMINISTER MEDS IF NECESSARY. I HAVE TO CHARGE FOR GAS DEPENDING HOW FAR. IF IN YOUR HOME 75 PER NIGHT, PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THERE ARE ANY CAMERAS IN YOUR HOME, BEFORE MY STAY, ITS LAW THAT YOU DISCLOSE THIS. ASK ME. BOTTOM LINE YOUR CHERUB WILL ALWAYS BE IN GOOD HANDS. I AM SAD TO INFORM BASED ON 2 PAST EXPERIENCES WITH BOXERS, THEY HAVE TO BE WELL BEHAVED TO CONSIDER THEM. AGAIN HONESTY IS KEY? ASK ABOUT LONG TERM.

When Cruz Maria watches your pet

MY HOME IS THEIR HOME. I ASK THE CHERUBS, IF I CAN SIT ON THE COUCH ;) I ALSO HAVE AN OPEN DOOR TO THE YARD POLICY. IE; WHEN I'M OUTSIDE WE ALL GO OUTSIDE TO PLAY AND BREATHE IN THE FRESH AIR. MY YARD IS FENCED IN. IF YOU FEEL YOUR CHERUB IS SMALL, & MIGHT FIT THRU, OR JUMP OVER, I WILL USE THE LEASH IF I HAVE TO. SAFETY FIRST! YOUR CHERUB WILL NEVER BE UNATTENDED. I PROVIDE COOL CLEAN WATER AT ALL TIMES, TOYS TO PLAY WITH. WARMER WEATHER WE HAVE A SMALL POOL, LOTS OF BALL, STICK CHASING. TREATS ARE MUST, AS LONG AS THIER HUMANS AGREE. FEEDING TIME IS 2x A DAY, UNLESS DIFFERENTLY. SLEEP TIME IS ANYWHERE THEY CHOOSE & EVEN MY BED. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE 1 OF US AT HOME. YOU WILL GET PICTURES/ UPDATES OF YOUR CHERUB DURING THEIR STAY. IF YOU ARE LUCKY I MIGHT LET THEM GO HOME ;)
